I split and stacked some Cherry today with some Red Maple. Both the Cherry and the Red Maple came down when we received our last wet heavy snow. Parts of the Cherry still had ants in it when I split it so those will get stacked when the ants are gone, the stack will get finished off with what I think is some Norway Maple and some smaller Yellow Birch rounds.

By the end of next week we should have a total of 55 face cord up with room for another 12 face cord of hardwood. The next wood that I'll split and stack will be some Ash, Yellow Birch, Beech and some Maple.

I think it has been a good six years since we had 55 face cord of hardwood up, hopefully the fall felling will fill the empty stacks up.
you sure did! i like how u used t-posts to end each pile. guess by they looks of it, you are all set for colder weather...
 
I grabbed another two loads of Birch rounds out of the gully this morning and finished off the front and the back, the back stack needs some smaller rounds that will finish it off, we have some Ash, Maple and Birch rounds that will finish off the back rack.

After the above is done, I'll move the **** wood near the blue tarp over to the outside fireplace and get our stacking areas ready for the fall felling.

I stopped to take a picture of the first load after it was split and the fawn came running by and then stopped to eat at the base of a small Ash I felled last fall.

Bout 1.5 cord of oak n ash.
Nothing feels better after a cold day outside than walking in and feeling that warm dry heat.

This is the big Maple that came down, I walked down from the top when I went for a ride today. I'm thinking the easiest way I can get this to an area I can split it will be rolling it down the hill.

I couldn't agree with you more. When I read that, it popped into my head, how nice it is to come home to a hot fire after a wet day duck hunting.
 
Except for the top of the second Pine and some branches that I'll take over to the outside fireplace, this area will be ready for some snow storage this winter instead of being just off the corner of the driveway.

I took two loads of branches and dead Pine over to the outside fireplace and then split & stacked all the Pine I had bucked up.

The first picture is what it looked like before I took down three smaller trees the other day and two Pine today.

I did some trail clearing with the loppers and on the way back, I picked up a load of rounds, Ash and Maple. I'm hoping that with the Norway Maple, the rounds back in the area we call the sandpit and the rounds I brought back today, we'll have another face cord.

After taking the wife for a ride, I picked up the rest of the rounds on the ridge and brought them home to split and stack. After splitting and stacking three loads, I was soaked so I came inside in the a/c.

I still haven't touched what rounds are left back in the sandpit so I'll use those too finish this face cord which will give us 56 going into the fall before I start on more Ash.
